ABOUT CLAIRE
I started my career in performing at two years old! I spontaneously sang ‘twinkle twinkle little star’ at a family wedding, and my world was forever changed. I grew up in dance classes, voice lessons and on any stage that would have me. I studied at The Humphrey’s School of Musical Theatre (HSMT) at Theatre Under The Stars (TUTS) in middle & high school, and have continued my musical theatre training at The Hartt School! I am now based between NYC and Houston.
Outside of performing, I have a keen interest for Creative Producing & exploring ‘the other side of the table.’ At Hartt I have produced two student Cabarets and have acted as Associate Producer on all performance-based honors projects at The Hartt School in the Fall of ‘24 and Spring of ‘25. While at Hartt I have also worked as a Swing, Associate Choreographer and Choreographer in Mainstage & Student-Led productions.
In my free time I like to read, watch movies, and enjoy dinner dates with friends & family!
